South Korea's major shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries is showing signs of a rebound, driven by recent joint buying by institutional and foreign investors. The market points to expectations of benefits from the U.S. shipbuilding revitalization policy and the company's competitiveness in winning orders for high-value-added vessels as the background for this stock price recovery.

Supply-Demand Improvement After 40% Correction... Closes at 22,350 Won

According to the financial investment industry, Samsung Heavy Industries' stock price had struggled with weakness for several months following its April peak, due to short-term profit-taking sell-offs and debates over whether the industry cycle had peaked. Having fallen more than 40% from its high to the 21,000 won range, the stock price recently recovered to the 22,500 won level with solid trading volume on recent trading days. During this process, institutional and foreign liquidity absorbed the sell volume from retail investors, forming a support line on the downside. The stock closed at 22,350 won, and the price movement on the next trading day, Monday, will be key to gauging the future direction.

U.S. Naval Power Enhancement and Shipbuilding Supply Chain Reorganization as New Momentum The U.S. movement to strengthen its naval power and reorganize its shipbuilding supply chain is cited as an external variable that triggered this rebound. Earlier this month, it was reported that the U.S. government sent a Request for Information (RFI) to the Korean shipbuilding industry regarding warships and logistics support ships, stimulating investment sentiment with expectations of entering the North American market. This is expected to act as a new growth engine for the entire domestic shipbuilding industry, in line with the policy trend centered on revitalizing local manufacturing.

Exclusive Technological Prowess in FLNG... Large Orders Likely in Second Half Samsung Heavy Industries' core business competitiveness also remains solid. The company holds a substantial share of global orders in the Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) production facility sector, demonstrating unrivaled technological prowess. In the second half of the year, the company is highly likely to secure additional large-scale facility orders worth billions of dollars. Furthermore, as LNG demand—a eco-friendly energy source—surges due to the increase in artificial intelligence data centers, the company is accelerating the development of new high-value businesses such as floating data centers.

Securities Industry: "Trend Reversal Imminent"... Room for Target Price Upgrades The securities industry expects that as valuation attractiveness has increased through the first-half correction, a full trend reversal will be possible starting with upcoming earnings announcements. Target prices presented by major financial institutions are set to reflect upside potential from current levels. However, whether the stock can break above the 23,000 won level is likely to be the critical watershed that determines its future direction.
